Fatigue models for short fibre reinforced composites
Hi,
I am working on short glass fibre reinforced composites.
Is there a material model which can predict the fatigue behaviour of the composite structure at high temperature.
Thank you
Regards

1st International Symposium on Energy Challenges and Mechanics
The first International Symposium on Energy Challenges and Mechanics will take place at Aberdeen, Scotland, UK, on 8-10 July 2014. This symposium is about energy challenges and roles of mechanics as a means for seeking solutions, involving multiple disciplines in technology, science and management. The topics cover both sides; we will look at applications in various energy resources including fossil fuels, and many different forms of renewable energy.
Ph.D. position opened at the University of Brescia, Italy
The group of Mechanics of Solids and Structures at the School of Engineering at the University of Brescia (Italy) has an open PhD position. The appointment will begin on January 1st 2014 for three full years.
The following topics are of interest:
1. small-scale plasticity of metals, with emphasis on modelling the size effect through strain gradient plasticity theories and dislocation mechanics. 2. micromechanics of composite materials, with emphasis on modelling failure.

Hello all,
Non-linear buckling analysis using static riks method-abaqus
hi,i have been doing non-linear buckling analysis using STATIC RIKs method
my model specification: length:65 metre, dia=2.85metre,thickness=0.38meter
and i am having the following doubts:
1.i have done Eigen value buckling analysis first and got the mode values..but for getting the mode shapes which load value i have to apply????(whether calculated euler buckling load value)
2.i have given imperfection as 0.0038 i.e..,10% of thickness value is it correct????

Abaqus help
Dear all,
I'm doing a dynamic analysis and optimization of high speed railway bridges. After developing the abaqus input file (*inp), the following errors have occured and I was unable to solve them. I have attached a picture showing the node number that I used to model the train. the car body and the bogies are model as a rigid body in which nodes 6001,6004 and 6501 are the reference nodes.
1. An overconstraint problem. it says "Zero pivot when processing Node 6004 d.o.f 2, node 6004 d.o.f 6 and node 6001 d.o.f 6
